The property was so old, did not have a trash can. The best were ripped apart, The mattress was so old and so uncomfortable i could feel the wires on my back. They did not have enough towels. There was medicine left behind. Meaning they don't even clean the rooms. Has very heavy smoke smell.Had two rags for 3 people . This was just an ugly property. Not worth the price. The front desk guy was nice and the pool was clean

The property overall definitely needs to be updated. They have a great location within the city but many of the other hotels in the immediate around them all seem to be in need of some investment.

The two men who ran it were very nice, but the property itself was terrible. The room smelled, had no personal amenities, had to ask for more than 1 towel for 2 people, had to ask for soap. No security lock inside the door. Could see light through the door when closed. The door handle to the bathroom was loose. Fan in bathroom didn't work. Shower was stained and furniture was marred and gouged. Would never stay there again!!!

You wouldn’t stay at this property and my wife and I didn’t. It was a dive. Run down/dirty / not acceptable. We could not get a refund as it was prepay with no refund. Understandable because once you saw it we’d all want a refund. This property should be taken off the list of Expedia listing
